… PRENEAL, esgrimió los mismos argumentos de hace una semana con los primeros tres contratos cancelados “ el viento no es susceptible de aprovechamiento” en dichos terrenos. Preneal put forward the same arguments as a week ago with the first three canceled contracts: “the wind is not susceptible for harnessing” in these areas.

The resistance continues, with more than 120 requests pending for annulment of contracts …
